If you look at the state of this game this far, things seem rather in shambles. And, I guess they should be. No one's been clearly dim enough to give away any
caught tells, so the amount of pressure builds and falls at a calculated rate.
Alright, the town is left with a dilemma. At this rate, a lynch that was similar to the lynching of Martyr Syndrome (A confrontation between actually being mafia or just being a purely useless town) is likely to occur. Regardless, my only lynch target has left! I have faith that he's actually having fun somewhere and not simply avoiding the game, unlike several others in this game.
Recently, RedWarrior0 and Org are rising on my suspicions list. Not only are they not actively participating, they tend to pop in at certain times, if only to go with what the crowd is doing, or attempt to relieve pressure when everyone's jumping on them (if only for a short while). These guys are jumping on the subtle bandwagons, if they're actually talking. It's suspicious as far as I take it.
Also, on the opposite scale, active players, perhaps not ultra pro-town ones like Vector and CobaltKobold, but the slightly less sure footed (or at ones that are pulling that) such as SirBayer and tehstefan should be kept under some light.
Sirbayer, you seem to be suffering from a combination of defensiveness, jumpiness as well as tunneled thinking.
This'll be interesting to hear.
Just a comment here - as I'm new, I'm going to assume I shouldn't feel bad about having little to no knowledge of these people's history. I don't know how they play. I suspect it's a disadvantage for me, but I'm just trying to do what I can while I can.
Assuming, then, that scum would not request extensions willingly (completely ignoring any WIFOM), the only remaining suspects are Myself, Org, Laetificius, and Apostolic. I'll try to clear myself by pointing out that scum would not want to include themselves in a narrowed group, especially new scum. Whether or not that works, whatever.
I'll think about interrogation... later. ._.
Let's see... hiding behind the fact that you're newer than any of us (save for me), trying to bring the fact that scum won't willingly vote for the extension (and seemingly ignoring that they can
act) and that people who didn't are therefore highly suspicious. This is group that includes yourself isn't it? Hm... I remember hearing something, how do we play? Lazy-like? I guess. The extension was already passed, so there was no further reason to jump the bandwagon, I take it.
I'd also love to hear any more ways you can suspiciously dodge questions.
Regarding WIFOM: If you read the statement while ignoring the WIFOM, as suggested by... was it Dakarian or Webadict? I don't recall, but the point is if you do it that way, it makes perfect sense, doesn't it? Isn't this a game of logic?
Mafia: A game of logic. A perfect deflection, right? After all, that's all mafia should be. Aside from the caustic environment created in order to crack people's minds. Aside from the fact that logic is perfectly directional. It can be made to drift, and land exactly where you please. Of course, the WIFOM is exactly what happens when this goes astray, sometimes preferably.
Final question: Why do we ask these questions of these people? I don't understand what we're meant to get out of them. If I were scum and someone asked me all these questions, I'd answer in exactly the same way as I do as town: completely honestly. There's got to be a better way to find the scumtells we're looking for.
You're acting as if asking questions and suspicion is a unimportant part of the mechanics of the game. Well, in a game based around logic, what do we want people to do? We need them to say things, we need to see them when they're vulnerable, when they're defensive. If no one asks anything, there's no way any scumtells would ever be made. Scumtells are a manifestation of irrational judgment and emotions caused by how the gears in this game turn.
